To fix this, remove the deploy key from the repository, and [add the key to your personal account](/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account) instead.

If the key you are using is intended to be a deploy key, check out [our guide on deploy keys](/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/managing-deploy-keys) for more details.
